When you turn on Full Control Panel access for anybody.. such as a Global Moderator they have complete access even to change the advanced settings such as the "Site Admin Member Number"
You only have two options as it is now for control panel access. They have it or they don't.

I was not aware of this until I gave it try.. scared me.. now I am going to have to rethink the whole Global Moderator thing.

Obviously we do not want to accidently give people that kind of access, I would suggest that some consideration be given to being able to limit certain control panel options to certain member groups.

Yeah, it's pretty funny (and scary!) how even Guests are an option to have full access to the control panel [Linked Image from gangsterbb.net]

Personally, I don't see any need to grant CP permission to anyone but Admins. I don't use "Global Moderator", personally, but maybe they'd be deserving of at least "Can edit users" as opposed to full CP access. (Not much in the CP would pertain to moderators anyway that I can think of...)

It would be very nice if you could give permissions to specific sections. We have somebody with admin rights that just does the job handling new users for example. We have a guy just does template work. Would love to give specific permissions. Heck, even to normal users who help maintain the language files.
